Mountain and Forest Kingdom

golden palace

Many powerful people from the Kingdom of Stars gathered together. The aura formed by hundreds of wizards and hundreds of elites from hundreds of battles made some ordinary people tremble just by looking here.

Just like a rabbit seeing a group of tigers having a meeting, the surrounding maids and male guards did not dare to make any noise for fear of attracting the attention of these people.

Lawrence sat on the throne of absolute dominance and looked at the crowd that filled the hall.

The originally empty and quiet Golden Palace could not accommodate all the powerful people. Some wizards and generals consciously stood outside.

It's not small or cramped here.

This palace is so luxurious that it makes people feel ashamed, making some elves and wizards who come here feel like they are country wizards who have never seen the world.

"I already know the matter."

Lawrence summarized the past events, and the majestic voice gradually echoed in this tall hall.

Long-term training, research and exploration of the power of faith, and control over the entire ice land have given Lawrence a confidence that can be felt by those around him.

This kind of confidence made the wizards standing below act more docile.

"It's good that you followed my will and opened the way to the royal court for me."

Lawrence looked at these elves with approval, "Although many elves and humans died along the way, these are all my arrangements and are necessary sacrifices."

"There is no need to feel guilty for the lives that died in your hands, nor should you be excited and proud of taking their lives. You just fight for a better tomorrow and continue to move forward in accordance with my will."

"Today I want to summarize your past achievements for you, and let you bid farewell to the past. From the moment you leave this hall, the achievements you made on the battlefield will be rewarded, and the sins and impulses you committed on the battlefield will also be rewarded. It’s all left in the past.”

"Whether you are a human or an elf, whether you are a warrior or a wizard, you are all citizens of the Kingdom of the Stars."

"This war was launched under my guidance. Even though it started because of the provocation of the Elf Queen, everything was arranged by me. The dead warriors and those unfortunate elves were all guided by the God of Stars to go to another place. A world begins a new journey of life.”

Lawrence not only appeases the wizards, but also appeases his own men.

People like Crying Luke are examples of people who kill people until they have problems in their own minds.

They themselves cannot understand this physiological phenomenon, nor do they understand that it is a mental illness.

Lawrence didn't want them to think they were sick, which would make it harder to recover and make them more likely to be looked down upon by the other savages.

Murder, whether it is justice or evil, will cause psychological problems.

Lawrence had asked people to focus on music and relieve some post-war emotions through entertainment arts.

But there is another important reason for removing the merits of the wizards.

It's not that these elves and wizards killed more elves and made more achievements, but they asked them to do this kind of thing, and they did it.

This kind of thing is important.

The elven wizards felt that what Lawrence said was correct. They were indeed doing things under Lawrence's command, so they felt that this was right.

The elves who were killed were indeed their means, but this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Lawrence.

The generals around him quickly said respectfully: "Yes, a merciful prophet, a great prophet!"

The wizards echoed quietly, imitating the people around them and saying a few words.

They were indeed afraid of Lawrence's power and had no desire to resist, but they also lacked loyalty.

Lawrence sat on the throne and looked at the elves and wizards below.

"Betrayal has a price, and so does loyalty."

"Betrayal of me will be severely punished, loyalty to me will be rewarded."

"I don't ask you to be absolutely loyal, and I respect your own ideas. As long as you don't harm my people in the ice land, and don't deliberately cause damage and affect the production and construction of my territory, I don't mind if you live here. Next, do something occasionally in exchange for various rewards.”

"You have made a lot of achievements this time. Fleiss, I appoint you as the earl of the City of Auroville. You will be in charge of the territory of the City of Auroville and the land including the four nearby cities."

Fleiss quickly knelt down, "Thank you! Great prophet!"

Lawrence said to Luke: "Luke, I declare you the baron of South Town. From now on, you can live in South Town with your family, or you can continue to live in Pumexiu Town like Fleiss and let your subordinates People manage South Town.”

Luke knew very well that this reward was more generous than he thought before, so he knelt down to thank him.

"Yes! Thank you! Great prophet!"

Lawrence quickly rewarded various generals for their meritorious service, and promoted Foao's brother Koda to a lord.

Emma's son Um did not make any merit this time. He was working in the lumber camp and had never participated in the battle to kill the enemy, so Lawrence did not give him any reward.

He was not even qualified to stand here, let alone kneel.

When there were more than twenty rewarded men kneeling below, Lawrence also rewarded the commander-in-chief Lead and his deputy Puwei who were in charge of the logistics.

In addition to logistics, there are also messengers who deliver the news, priests and nuns who take care of the wounded, and elven women who help care for and persuade their fellow tribesmen after the surrender.

After spending more than an hour on these trivial matters, Lawrence looked at the elf wizards again.

"Alondo, you have done a lot for me this time. I have prepared money and accommodation for you. You can also find a place to live by yourself and tell Li De that I will give you some money every month. Of course you can refuse food, clothing, wine and meat, so I won’t bother you again.”

"Besides these, you can all make some reasonable requests. I am willing to take more care of you elves who have surrendered."

Aarondo also learned the rules here, knelt down on one knee and said: "Yes, thank you, merciful prophet! I am very satisfied with your reward."

Lawrence nodded, "Very good."

At this time, an elf wizard stood in the team and said, "There is something I want to know."

Everyone and the elves quickly looked at the elf who spoke.

The elf who spoke was an elf who looked to be in his thirties. It was difficult to tell the exact age of an elf of this age, but he was definitely a mature, healthy and powerful wizard!

Lawrence looked at this elf. In Lawrence's eyes, the only difference between most elven men was their hairstyle and face shape.

"You can ask questions, and I will choose whether to answer your questions based on your contribution."

Lawrence is not omniscient and omnipotent, so he made a patch in advance to prevent these elves from asking all kinds of strange questions.

"I am Will Iron Blade! This time I killed the most elves!" Will looked at Lawrence and defended excitedly.

Lawrence said calmly: "Tell me your problem."

Will quickly calmed down, lowered his head nervously, and quickly looked at Lawrence.

"I learned from some wizards and humans that witchcraft can be studied freely here? I hope you will allow me to study witchcraft!"

Lawrence felt that there might be something mentally wrong with this elf wizard.

"In the land of ice, the research of extraordinary powers is normal behavior. I allow students to learn and use these extraordinary powers, but they must serve this land."

What Will wants is not only the witchcraft in Saintess Academy, he said nervously: "I want to study... the witchcraft of life and death!!"

After he finished speaking, the barbarians and wizards around him looked at him uneasily.

Even Alondo felt that the wizard had violated a taboo and was likely to be killed.

Lawrence didn't look surprised. He had vaguely guessed it from when the wizard wanted to study witchcraft.

"Okay." Lawrence said gently and calmly: "If you can report to me what you are doing every month, tell me what you need, and you need my permission to continue research, instead of acting on your own. If so, I will allow you to study these.”

Will didn't expect Lawrence to be so easy to talk to, "Really?"

Lawrence said: "I will find you a small island in the sea, where you will study those dangerous witchcrafts in the future. If you need anything, just let me know. I will also send people to send you food and daily necessities regularly."

"My request is very simple. Don't hurt the people I sent. If anything happens, you can directly go to Feiyu Port or Dumu Port to find someone to inform me. I will solve it for you. But if you hurt the people I sent, betrayal Or disobey my orders, and I won’t be as easy to talk to as I am now.”

Will quickly knelt down, "Yes! Merciful prophet! I am willing to obey your orders!"

Lawrence said: "I would be even more happy if you would share your knowledge, and the knowledge you share will promote the progress of the entire industry."

“If your knowledge lights the way for others, then more and more people will take this path, which will make it easier to walk.”

Will lowered his head, "I'm willing to do it!"

Lawrence looked at the rest of the people, "My tolerance is limited for research that will only bring destruction and misfortune, but if it can bring various improvements, such as allowing living people to avoid disease, then I will allow this kind of research. "

"No one wants to die, and everyone has expectations for a healthy life. God will not support this kind of thing, and will not destroy the balance between life and death, but will not interfere with our own research."

"The harder you work, the easier it will be to discover your own insignificance. Only when you step into the starry sky and the sea will you understand how big the gap is between you and God."

There were things Lawrence had wanted to do for a long time, and the progress of medicine was inseparable from some research that seemed evil in its early days.

Anatomy and various surgical operations require a lot of basic theory and empirical support. Now a group of people don't even know the structure of the human body, and they are still several mountains away from medicine.

Will had no more questions, and Lawrence confessed another matter.

"The war is basically over. I will handle the remaining matters personally, so there is no need for any of you to attack the elves privately."

"Especially those elves who choose peace. If anyone continues the previous war behavior and uses the tactics of the war in the surrendered villages and strongholds, then I will hand him over to Will."

Will showed surprise, while the humans in the Golden Palace showed fear.

Lawrence said solemnly: "For those who violate my will and are disloyal to me, I will strip them of their qualifications to survive in this land. In serious cases, I will expel them and let them start over outside the Kingdom of Stars."

"If the plot is so bad that it arouses my anger, then let Will handle it. The price of betrayal is more serious than they imagined!"

The celebration banquet ended quickly, and a group of meritorious officials began to disperse to various places in the Kingdom of Stars.

Some wizards will go to Hezuo City to assist, some will choose to settle in the land of ice, and the remaining ones with ideas will go to overseas islands to conduct research and do some scientific research that cannot be done in the forest.

It was mostly quiet at this point.

Lawrence was tired of doing pretentious things, so he took his two children and maids to cultivate land on the hilltop not far from the Snow Mountain Castle.

Snow Mountain Castle is a connected building composed of four hills. Many buildings form a luxurious palace, and the palace continues to be built and taller.

The water flow here on the second floor is very large, especially in summer, when the water flow is so fast that the soil cannot be retained.

Stella's elf village is far away from here. Except for some forests and land above, most of the area near here is swamp, which is only suitable for bird breeding.

The City of Waterfalls is located downstream, slightly closer to the forest, and is also connected to the same waterfall river as the lake upstream.

The lack of soil for trees was not a problem. Lawrence planted aquatic plants suitable for the water area and also built water conservancy facilities to enclose a paddy field.

Human feces and food scraps can easily accumulate to create a fertile soil, while hundreds of years of bird droppings can also provide a lot of help for agriculture.

Of course, various supplies brought from the mountains and forests are also indispensable.

Lawrence straightened up from the pea field. The ground under his feet was cold and biting, and it also exuded some putrid and fermented smell.

A hundred meters away, two little ones were playing with the little Dom sheep, and were chased and butt-knocked by the silly little sheep.

Lawrence didn't say anything when he saw the children not working. The women and children in the family didn't like to work. This was always the case.

Lawrence also didn't let Sophia and Heidi work with him. These women would only get in the way.

Doing farm work is one of Lawrence's ways to improve his own strength, so he doesn't need help from others.

After finishing his farm work, Lawrence washed his hands and feet in a nearby clean stream, and then went home with his tired children.

Life has returned to calm, there is no war to deal with, and there is no busy matter with the Church and the Covenant.

Sariel was the first to feel the change.

"Lawrence, why do we feel so idle lately?"

"Because the other side of the Agama Mountains has entered eternal night."

"oh……"

The long eternal night is already a recognized holiday.

Salil thought for a moment, "I feel so bored. I have nothing to do lately."

Heidi and Sophia solved most of the things that Salil had to do, and there were a lot of beautiful elves in the castle recently who didn't want to live in the forest, so Salil had less and less work.

Lawrence also felt that it was too boring to continue like this, "You teach two little guys arithmetic and physics."

Salil nodded, "What about you?"

"There are too few wizards. The next generation may not even have one-tenth of what we have now." Lawrence sighed, "I have to work hard." (End of Chapter)
